Quality Schipperkes since 1987

About Us

As a brief introduction to Willow Schipperkes, I will tell you that my husband Terry and I obtained our first Schipperke in 1987, and little did we know what we were getting into!
 
     
 
We have since then been very involved in showing and breeding Schipperkes.
 

We breed litters occasionally and also occasionally have adults available for placement in new homes. All of our Schips are raised in our home and well socialized - each is guaranteed for health and temperament. Pet quality Schips are sold on a spay/neuter contract.
